Subject: memory tier: consolidate the initialization of memory tiers
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2024 06:09:23 +0000
If we simply move the set_node_memory_tier() from memory_tier_init() to
late_initcall(), it will result in HMAT not registering the
mt_adistance_algorithm callback function, because set_node_memory_tier()
is not performed during the memory tiering initialization phase, leading
to a lack of correct default_dram information.
Therefore, we introduced a nodemask to pass the information of the default
DRAM nodes. The reason for not choosing to reuse default_dram_type->nodes
is that it is not clean enough. So in the end, we use a __initdata
variable, which is a variable that is released once initialization is
complete, including both CPU and memory nodes for HMAT to iterate through.
Besides, since default_dram_type may be checked/used during the
initialization process of HMAT and drivers, it is better to keep the
allocation of default_dram_type in memory_tier_init().
